The Honey Bird Of south Africa.

We came to a large piece of timber,
and while passing through it / had my
first experience with the honey bird of
South Africa. The curious little bird is,
in size and plumage, about like an English
sparrow, and gets his name from the fact
that the little fellow, who is very fond of
honey. being unable TO obtain it for him
self, will lead men to the places where
the wild bees have hidden their stores of
rich, wild honey. Whenever this bird
sees a man he will fly close to him, how
ering around, uttering a twittering sound;
then he will go off in the direction of the
place generally a tree) where the honey
is, flying backward and forward in a zig
gag fashion. Then back he will come,
t~wittering in the same manner, as il To
say ''Come along; I'll show you where il
is" These actions are repeated until the
tree is reached, when the bird will indi-
cate it very plainly by flying to it and
lowering around il. While the bees are
being smoked out and the honey taken
up the bird will hover in the vicinity
until the job is done, when of course his
reward comes In the shape of a feast on
the fragments that are left. American

The old silk hat worn by Abraham
Lincoln when he left Springfield, HIS,
for Washington TO be inaugurated, in
1861, is carefully preserved in this city.
II is an antique tile now when compared
with the latest Broadway ''dicers," and
il is but fair to presume that It was by no
means youthful when its owner set out
on that memorable ride to greatness and
renown. The fortunate possessor Of this
hat is Mr.. George Gibson, and it came
to him from his father. II Is a badly
battered and sorrowful looking old
'.stovepipe, with straight, narrow brim,
and full of dents and creases, such as
might be expected in a hat given to mid
night roysterings; but in this case they
are partially the result of honest wear in
years past and careless handling since it
was put aside as q relic.
On the side lining, in the clear, well
known hand of the great president, is the
autograph, "A. Lincoln" and stamped
in the crown is the usual gilt advertise
ment of the Springfield halter with
whom honest old Abe was wont to
trade. When Mr.. Lincoln arrived in
New York he wore this hat, and its gen.
orally demoralized and ruffled expression
did not fully comport with the dignity of
the occasion. An enterprising halter,
discovering a splendid opportunity to ad-
vertise his goods, had a fine, stylish hat
made for the president elect, having Sc
cured a contour of his head. Then, as
Mr.. Lincoln was driven down Broadway
from the Aston house, his headquarters
during his brief ~sojourn here, the halter
presented the new hat, taking the old n
in exchange. Eventually it passed into
the possession of Mr.. George Gibson's
father, a well known antiquarian and
stained glass artist. For years the hat
rested under a glass receiver in the mu-
scum attached to the factory of the elder
Gibson, uptown, and has attracted at
tention. Many offers have been made
TO" its purchase, but Mr.. Gibson prefers
to retain the relic, which carries much of
the personality of the great president. 1t
should be in the National museum, at
Washington.-New York Times.

sunday In Paris.

The French positively refuse TO recog-
nize Sunday as day Of rest. The French
workman seems, 20 identify the breach of
the Sabbath With self respect and the
vindication Of liberty. He will refuse to
work for an employer who makes II O

give in ON the point. The first Of the
great business houses 10 close ON Sunday
was the Bon Marehe, and il was predicted
that II would soon become bankrupt; but
he Bon Marche held on its way, and in
this case virtue earned It's own reward,
for no house Of the kind has ever -four

done. The large shops In Paris are now

The Faithful Employees Duty.

Much is usually said about the wrong
Of eye service, as it affects the employer;
but as these thoughts are especially for
hired help, it is better TO look at this sub
ject from the purely selfish standpoint
which an employee, careful only Of his
own interests, might take. IL hired help
try TO do just as little as possible, not only
does tins fact become known, but Il
quickly forms q habit which cannot easily
be overcome. The conditions of success
anywhere are push, enterprise and a de-
sire TO do all that is possible.
Men who are accustomed TO hold hack.
fearing they win do too much for their
employer, learn slowness and tardiness no
thoroughly that they cannot drop these
habits even when they come to work for
themselves. To work heartily and cheer.
fully for an employer Is, we believe,
equally important for both parties; but II
there Is any difference, IL should be Of
greater importance 10 the workman,
whose habits for life are being formed,
rather than for the employer, who, at
the close Of a season, II not before, may
discharge the unfaithful employe and
hire another in his place.-Boston Budget.

An Egyptian Specialist.

In the presence of the khedive and
several French officers, the Wizard of
FL Kahra" thrice repeated the trick of
making a handful of transparent halls
vanish in mid air in plain daylight. The
missiles were colorless and pellucid like
white glass, but as light as gum, and
were repeatedly submitted to the examin-
alton of the spectators. After passing
them from hand to hand, the wizard put
them in an open vessel, shaped somewhat
like a short handled dipper, and leaning
back till his outstretched arm nearly
touched the ground, he flung them straight
up in the air, where they could be seen
glittering for a moment like icicles or
large glass pearls. But nobody saw them
fall down again, though the scene of the
experiment was a large, level lawn; the
air seemed to have absorbed them like
globes Of dissolving vapor. Could they
have e~vaporated OF di~ssolvedento a spray
Of minute particles? Quicksilver scatters
that way, but would descend in hail of
very p~erceptible drops. A sleight of hand
trick was clearly out of the question,
though a me tenable explanation would
have puzzled a chemist as much as an
optician. Felix L. Oswald in Cincinnati

load of corn was stolen from his son,
Mr.. Geo. Wakcman, living in tile
same neighborhood. AS far as we
have heard. no clue has been found
to the property. The thief probably
got the corn aud had no use for it
and felt compelled to take the hogs
to eat it. Steps have been taken to
find the guilty parties, and we hope
they will soon be arrested. -HaWag-

The above clipped from the Id

the arrest Of Lorenzo Stevens. The
evidence before the committing mag
@istrate was about as follows Frank
Nakcman and Mr.. kesler, who have
charge of Lester Wakelnan'5 piemis-
es during his absence in the East,
were away from home during the
night the hogs were taken, and on
their return the next morning dis
covered that a number Of hogs were
missing and began looking about for
evidence OF their whereabouts. The
first circumstance of importance
which struck their notice was a sled
track nea the hog pens, which from
certain pecuIiarities was recognized
as the sled track OF Lorenzo Stevens
and was followed to his door. Up
on this discovery, Frank Wakenetfi.
started TO Elk Point to swear out a
warrant, and Mr.. Bonnie who was
assisting him in the search Was put
on the watch and saw Stevens, who
apparently Suspected he was about
to be caught, reload the hogs into his
sled and drive out some distance
from the house and dump them out
on the prairie. This act was also
witnessed by several others who tes-
titled in the case. Testimony was
also introduced showing that Steyens
had no hogs of his own, but on the
morning in question he requested a
neighbor to haul q load of hogs to
